Tell me about it. Saying Star Wars is top 20 material, but it's sequel which improved everything (except maybe Han Solo) is represented only once on all those lists. However, I'd love to watch another one of those, preferably about cinematography, because I'm a sucker for list shows.

Outside of the fact that a ton of the best movies aren't American and "can't" be listed, the movies/ordering they do pick is just retarded.

There is no way Singing' in the Rain is the 5th best movie ever made, and I love Singing' in the Rain. Nor does it make any sense that City Lights - a movie made in like the 20s - would go from being #76 in 1998 to #11 in 2008.

It's dumb.

I still have a problem with Citizen Kane being #1 over The Godfather

It does. Doesn't mean it's not entertaining.

I find all of the Bond movies entertaining except for Golden Gun. That one was boring, and that's the worst crime a Bind movie can do.

I think seeing it on the big screen might've elevated that mediocrity into relentless boiling hatred for me. I just despised so many things about it one after another. The villains, the ladies, the action scenes, just...

Actually, now that I think about it, TWINE kinda reminds me of how I felt watching Van Helsing. A whole lot of "I see, this is how not to do it!"

Speaking of Bond, what's people opinion's on the Skyfall trailer? I think it looks very good and could mark a unique Bond experience. If everything goes right, it's definitely going to be among the top Bond movies.

Also, here's a trailer of Casino Royale in the style of the Skyfall trailer I found online. Really good.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion, because Leon/The Professional has an 8.6 rating on the IMDb. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good movie, but 8.6? Above Saving Private Ryan? And Terminator 2? And Citizen Kane? Really? I mean...really?

I think Skyfall will at least be good, if not great. Sam Mendes has made some really good movies and the ones that weren't as good still had their good aspects. Javier Bardem should be an awesome Bond villain too.

Here's an unpopular opinion: I mostly like QOS. It has it's flaws (the action scenes cut and shot too messily, which I blame on Marc Forster being a s****y action director, and Bond suddenly becoming as impossibly deft as Spidey. And the title). But it's nowhere close to the bottom of my list of Bond films (and I've seen them all). It's flawed, but I do not get the hate.

Lack of humour, lack of gadgets, lack of credible villian, lack of secret base (what WAS the secret base? An underground river?) incomprehensible action (come back Nolan, all is forgiven). A simply CRAP movie that I saw once in theatres and wont ever watch again. I was checking my watch almost the entire time.

How can Bond go from being one of my favorite Bond movies with CR (top 5) to one of my worst Bond movies (bottom 3, maybe bottom 2) in the space of ONE MOVIE? A horrible horrible movie. I didn't get much of an impression with the Skyfall teaser as it is so quick, but as I said earlier if I am getting a 'Quantum' vibe off the full Skyfall trailer, I'm out and I will wait for the next change of direction for Bond.

I think Skyfall will at least be good, if not great. Sam Mendes has made some really good movies and the ones that weren't as good still had their good aspects. Javier Bardem should be an awesome Bond villain too.

Javier Bardem sure looks menacing. And I think that Road To Perdition is a great movie, so Mendes sure has got the talent.

Pitt is famous because he's good looking. He's also underrated as a character actor because he's good looking. They should stop giving him leading man roles because, despite his leading man looks, he's at his best in quirky supporting roles.

He needs to stop working with Tim Burton. Both are totally spoiling each other. Letting the other do whatever they want as if it was genius.

Absolutely. Once upon a time they made one or two really good movies together. But now they just bring the out the worst in each other.

That's so strange. Depp is also good looking. But few people can underestimate his talent.

Depp and Pitt are both overrated and underrated in different areas; with some mathematics and other fun stuff, they're both rated just fine.

I agree. Both get a good amount of praise, and not just for their looks. Both have had great performances in roles. If Pitt wasn't a great actor, he wouldn't have been in leading roles for nearly 20 years. It's not like all good looking actors are leading men. Some do fade away because of their lack of acting skils.
